From the Editors

This issue marks what we hope will be a welcome development in C@lling Japan: a broadening of its scope by including full-length articles in addition to the shorter articles, software and site reviews, interviews, hints and tips, officer's reports, and announcements that have made it such an interesting, informative, and popular newsletter over the years. As the range of interest of our readers is diverse, we feel that the range of content in C@lling Japan should be equally diverse and hope this issue does something to achieve that goal. We hope that all of our readers will now find a format that they are comfortable enough with so that more will contribute their own material to C@lling Japan. Then, and only then, will C@lling Japan be the publication it truly can be.
